    Differences

    Trisha Nathalie Roma

    genes

    different cultures or other social groups
    Educational Implications of
    Individual Difference

    Trisha Nathalie Roma


    1. In any group there are individuals who
    deviate from the norms of the group.

    2. Every teacher should try to have the desired


    knowledge of the abilities, capacities, interest,
    attributes, aptitudes, and other personality traits
    of his pupils and in the light of this knowledge
    should render individual guidance to children for
    the maximum utilization of their potentialities.
    3. It is wrong to expect uniformity in gaining
    proficiency or success in a particular field from a group
    of students on account of their subnormal intelligence,
    previous knowledge , back ground, lack of proper
    interest, aptitude and attitude etc. some students lay
    behind in one or the other area of achievement.

    4. All students cannot be benefited by a particular


    method of instruction and a uniform and rigid
    curriculum.
    Role of Schools in Meeting the
    Individual Difference
    1. Proper knowledge of the individual’s
    potentialities
    2. Ability grouping
    3. Adjusting curriculum
    4. Adjusting the method of teaching.
